He's baaaaaack! Rosenbaum rebounds in finale!

"Did you miss me?"

Are you sitting down? Are you? Well, brace yourself...The Gods have heard my pleas and your innermost Smallville wishes -- cuz baby, Michael Rosenbaum will be back as Lex for the series finale of the show May 13.

After three years sans Rosenbaum's rage that is Lex Luthor, he will rise from the icy Fortress of Solitude floor to reprise his role as Clark Kent's archenemy.

"I'm delighted to return for the series finale," Rosenbaum said in a studio press release. "I'm simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made 'Smallville' the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness and even their threats. Ha ha. I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the badass he’s destined to be."

Executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders added, "...as far as the way he returns, there'll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent's life."

I'm seriously thinking of taking the day off of work to make sure I'm prepared for this episode. Anyone else?
